This webcast provides an easy-to-understand Unified Theory of Oscillator Design to demystify oscillators so that you can begin designs with a thorough understanding of oscillator behavior rather than by copying designs. This educational lecture is based on the 3rd and latest book on Discrete Oscillator Design authored by the presenter, Randy Rhea.

A Systems Mentality Drives Next Generation MMIC Design
September 14, 2010; 11am EDT
Presented by: Endwave
This free 1-hour webinar will provide an overview of a new suite of systems-driven MMICs and their inspirations as they were developed by Endwave Corporation. Endwave’s unique position as both a MMIC integrator and MMIC designer has lead to some novel design approaches and cost cutting measures that may aid subsystem and system designers in overcoming their latest microwave and millimeter-wave challenges. Case studies for design challenges and solutions will be presented including increased performance and reliability at high frequencies, overcoming supply chain logistics while lowering costs, and enabling true full SMT solutions through high frequencies. Engineering professionals looking to reduce footprints and lower costs in multi-function assemblies and integrated systems will find this webinar both informative and educational.

This application note will highlight some of the major RF amplifier characteristics that impact forward power as well as net power allowing the use of Ohm’s law,
even when conditions are far from ideal.
A new method for mixer spurs calculation has been developed
which is easier and more straightforward to use than the
traditional spurs chart approach when dealing with the frequency plan
optimization in broadband double conversion transceivers suitable for
applications as multi-band, multi-standard and Software Defined Radio. A full
technical article describing this new method can be found here.
An Excel spreadsheet calculator for this method can be downloaded
below.
